Cloudchaser Sakonige the Red Wolf:For any one person to say what any object represents to them is what is while at the same time refusing to recognize that it doesn't mean the same thing to other people is arrogant and self centered.

Look at you attending community college like a big shot. Did you learn that little pseudo-intellectual tidbit in your Intro to Art class yesterday?

We're not talking about something somebody painted with their ass cheeks and hung in a modern art exhibit, we're talking about a flag that was created for a specific purpose and flown by a specific group of people attempting to achieve a specific goal in a specific era of the history of a specific country.

It means something specific. Flying the confederate rebel flag and trying to convince people it doesn't inherently symbolize racism is as sensible as flying the hammer and sickle and trying to convince people it symbolizes freedom.

You can claim it means whatever you want to you, people are just going to think that means you're too dumb to know the history behind it.
